PREFACE

The Defense Logistics Agency (DLA) is assigned the mission of managing the Defense 

Reserve of Ozone Depleting Substances to ensure that the supplies for mission critical uses are 

available. DLA provides central management for the receipt, storage and issuance through the 

DLA Aviation which is the activity within DLA that manages these substances. The DLA 

Distribution Richmond is the primary storage site for ODS.

It is imperative that your Military Service or Defense Agency turn in to the Reserve the 

following excess CFCs 11, 12, 114, 500, 502; Halons 1202, 1211, 1301, 2402; and HCFC-22. 

The Reserve accepts both used and new CFCs, Halons, and HCFC-22 in a relatively pure state 

(i.e. not as a component of other products). These chemicals may have been purchased under 

the Federal Supply Classes (FSC) 6830 and 4210, or from a commercial source. CFC/Solvent -

113 (Type I & II) and 1,1,1 Trichloroethane (FSCs 6850 and 6810) can also be turned in to the 

Reserve provided they have never been used and the containers in which the chemicals reside 

have never been opened or unsealed.

All turn ins must be returned to DLA Distribution in Richmond VA unless the activity is in 

Japan, Hawaii, or San Diego, California (Restricted to Navy Only). Section 1 provides 

procedures on how to turn-in excess ODS to DLA Distribution in Richmond VA. Section 2B, C 

& D provide site specific guidance pertaining to turn-ins to the collection sites at: Yokosuka, 

Japan; Pearl Harbor, Hawaii, and San Diego, California. Guidance for other overseas Turn-Ins is 

found at the beginning of Section 2. Section 3 provides National Stock Numbers (NSN’s) 

specifically assigned to identify ODS turned in to the Reserve and associated recovery cylinders. 

Section 4 lists the chemical names of the Reserve ODS. Section 5 lists the DoD Services’ and 

Coast Guard POC’s.

For questions concerning requisitions (sales orders) and stock availability, contact the 

Reserve at DSN 695-6451 or commercial (804) 279-6451. For procedural concerns or questions 

please call, DSN 695-5202 or 5004. The commercial number is (804) 279-5202 or 5004.

Section 1

GENERAL ODS TURN-IN INFORMATION

I. Procedures

A. No authorization/pre-notification to the item manager or ODS Program Office is 

required when turning in ODS to the Reserve.

B. All types of ODS containers will be accepted in the Reserve to include cylinders, 

fire extinguishers, drums, spheres, and canisters. Government recovery cylinders are available 

free of charge through DLA Aviation for ODS turned in to the Reserve. The Military Standard 

Requisition and Issue Procedure (MILSTRIP) is used to requisition ODS. The DLA preferred method

for your input of a requisition (sales order) into the supply system is through FEDMALL, 

(http://www.dla.mil/Info/FedMall/), but requisitions can be phoned in to DLA Customer Interaction 

Center, (DLA CIC). The Center is available 24 hours a day at DSN 661-7766 or COMM toll free (877) 

352-2255 (877-DLA-CALL), or by email at dlacontactcenter@dla.mil to answer questions concerning 

MILSTRIP and requisition status. The government cylinders used for recovering CFC refrigerants 

are painted orange, and Halons red. Both have yellow tops and dual port (two valves) to 

distinguish them from single port valve standard spec gas cylinders. Dual port spec gas (virgin) 

CFC cylinders are only available for Navy shipboard applications.

C. All ODS containers returned to the Reserve must be tagged/labeled as follows:

1. The shippers DoD Activity Address Code (DODAAC).

2. The shipping activity’s “in-the-clear” address with POC and phone 

number.

3. The NSN of cylinder(s) containing the recovered ODS (see Section 3).

4. Type of ODS (i.e., Halon 1301 or CFC-12).

5. The quantity of containers on the pallet or within the shipping crate.

6. Packaged and labeled in compliance with DOT regulations. A DD 1149 or 

DD 1348-1 shall also be included with the cylinder(s).

Note: When multiple containers (cylinders, drums, spheres, canisters, or fire extinguishers) with 

the same NSN are shipped palletized or in a box/crate, apply only one tag/label to the shipment, 

not to each item.

D. Fire suppression system cylinders and canisters with electrical charges or 

initiators must be deactivated prior to shipment to the Reserve. Also, safety caps must be usedto 

cover exposed actuation mechanisms and discharge ports on these special cylinders, otherwise 

dangerous safety situations could arise during the shipping, receiving, or storage process. Your 

local area fire protection equipment companies can provide safety services. Special handling 

procedures for Halon system cylinders are provided later in Section 1. If further guidance is

needed contact the ODS Reserve Program Office at DSN 695- 5004 or Commercial (804) 279- 

5004 or email avnodsreserve@dla.mil.

E. Monetary credit will not be given for turned in ODS or cylinders. However, 

ownership credit will always be given to the service or agency for the pounds of ODS returned to 

the Reserve.

F. Empty recovery, and spec gas cylinders must be turned in to the Reserve. Spec 

gas empty cylinders (see Section 3 for applicable NSNs) should not be used for recovering ODS. 

Spec gas cylinders will be refurbished and refilled with product for future requisitions. There 

are exceptions to recovering product into spec gas cylinders, but this applies to limited Navy 

shipboard applications. Approval by the ODS Program Office is required to obtain these unique 

spec gas cylinders for shipboard applications.

G. CFC/Solvents - 113 and 1,1,1 Trichloroethane when turned in must be in their 

original containers in which the seal has never been broken. 

H. Burnt out or mixed reserve products can be turned in to the Reserve. Clearly 

identify the chemical by defining its components (i.e., R-12 & R-502). 

 I. The following items are not a part of the Reserve:

1. Empty fire extinguishers (valves removed) 

2. Empty commercial containers 

3. Aerosol cans with Reserve chemicals

4. Dry chemicals

 Contact your local Property Disposal Office for guidance on discarding these items.

 J. HCFC refrigerant except for R-22 and HFC refrigerants including R-134s and 

 R236fa are a part of the Industrial Gas Program. See CONUS Industrial Gases and Cylinders 

 Privatization Program at https://dla.mil/Aviation/Offers/Commodites for further information.

III. Special Handling Procedures for Halon 1301 System Cylinders

A. Halon 1301 is typically incorporated into built-in fire suppression systems 

applications with the charged Halon cylinder connected to the system piping. Because the Halon 

is over pressurized with nitrogen to facilitate distribution, these system cylinders are usually 

disconnected from the system and used as the transportation cylinder to return the product to the 
6

CUI

CUI

Reserve as the systems are taken out of service. However, fire suppression system cylinders and 

canisters with electrical charges or initiators must be deactivated prior to shipment to theDefense 

Reserve. Special care should be taken when deactivating and disassembling the systems. The 

valves on these cylinders are designed in a manner that upon activation, they are changed 

instantly from a closed position to fully open position and will dispense the Halon in less than 10 

seconds. The combination of these sensitive valves and the high pressure within the cylinders 

require compliance with good safety practices. It is highly recommended that an expert in Fire 

Suppression Systems be contracted to perform the decommissioning/removal.

B. Instructions for dismantling a Halon Fire Suppression System are provided as

follows:

1. The first step is to deactivate the actuation system, which is usually electrical or 

pneumatic. However, disconnection from the electrical or pneumatic source is not enough from 

a safety standpoint. In the case of pneumatic systems, there is often still a small pin exposed 

that must be covered with a safety cap before handling. Just the slightest touch on this pin could 

cause full activation of the valve. In the case of electrically activated valves, simple 

disconnection of the electrical leads to solenoid valves is acceptable. However, if the electrical 

connection is to an explosive initiator, it is very important to remove the initiator. This is a very 

important safety practice because static electricity can cause the explosive to detonate. These 

actions should be done before any other dismantling is initiated.

2. The next step is to disconnect any discharge piping from the discharge port.

Immediately upon disconnection of the piping, install an anti-recoil device (discharge port safety 

cap). Safety caps should be used to cover exposed actuation mechanisms and discharge ports on 

these special cylinders, otherwise dangerous safety situations could arise during the shipping, 

receiving, or storage process. Application of manufacturer's designed and supplied caps are the 

proper safety practice. In some cases, the threads are not the same as pipe threads and may not 

hold under the pressure of release. However, if pipe caps, plugs or plates are substituted

for manufacturer's caps, at least four opposing holes must be drilled in the anti-recoil cap, plug or 

plate to disperse any release of the Halon if the valve inadvertently activates. Anti-recoil device 

safety caps/plugs/plates must always be in place before handling the cylinders.

3. Adherence with the above safety practices is paramount before removing any 

cylinders from the mounting position. Once the safety devices are in place, cylinders can be

moved with relative safety. However, these are high-pressure compressed gas cylinders and 

require all the safe handling practices of any other gas cylinder. Also, protective safety wear is

required for personnel deactivating cylinders.

dangerous safety situations could arise during shipping, receiving, or storage processes. Local 

fire protection experts can provide safety services. Special handling procedures for Halon 

system cylinders are provided in Section 1. If further guidance is needed, contact one of the 

collection site POCs provided in paragraph H of this Section, or the ODS Reserve Program 

Office in Richmond, VA, phone DSN 695-5202 or commercial (804) 279-5202 or email

avnodsreserve@dla.mil.

E. Monetary credit will not be given to individual activities for turned-in ODS or 

cylinders. However, ownership credit by Service or Agency will always be maintained for the 

pounds of ODS returned to the Reserve. ODS can be requisitioned from the Reserve only by

Service authorized activities.

F. The following procedures will be followed:

1. Units with leaking containers must transfer the ODS into proper storage containers 

before shipment to San Diego. If guidance is needed related to leaking cylinders, please call one 

of the collection site POCs provided in paragraph H of this Section.

2. Cylinders will be banded together in an upright position, utilizing a wooden collar, 

on wooden pallets using metal/steel-banding material or secured in a wooden crate.

3. Halon fire extinguishers/system cylinders will have safety pins installed where 

applicable and secured to prevent accidental release. Safety caps will be installed on cylinders.

4. DD Form 1348-1, or the local equivalent, will be the document used to turn-in ODS 

containers, with the address shown in paragraph G.1.

G. Transportation Guidance:

1. Turn-ins originating in the Pacific region should be forwarded to the following 

consolidation point address:
